  1. Why do Americans take their early WWII defeats by Japan with more equanimity than Commonwealthians ?

    In my experience (friends and family) the main issue with the Japanese isn't that they beat us but how they treated the pow's. I barely remember anyone commenting on the way they captured Singapore. My parents generation hated the japanese with a passion because of 'what they done to our...

  2. DBWI Question: I found this bizarre map

    From this map I can't determine where the centre of this empire is but I would guess the indian Ocean somewhere. But I have determined some things. This is a trade empire. A lot of it is on trade routes. Even the little islands in the mediterranian suggest some kind of trade route through that...

  3. AHC: Make the Irish loyal to the United Kingdom

    Bit of a curve ball here. Was there any suitable Irish suitor or bride for an English monarch? Would an anglo-irish monarchy be enough?

  4. What one event from 1900-2016 would you remove/change for the best modern earth?

    Would Churchill letting the Ottomans have the ships they ordered do the trick?

  5. Prevent any and all religious animosity between the faiths of Abraham as possible

    If Christians actually obeyed Jesus's teachings. I think the big fail for Christianity was becoming the official Roman religion. The result was that the faith became indistinguishable from secular politics for centuries afterwards. (In some cases even up to the present day) The secular...

  6. Hardest AHC EVER

    There's nothing wrong with British cuisine except people's perception. Ok it went through a low point of WWII rationing like Rodent Revolution says. But while British cuisine was still in the post war doldrums British tourists discovered Europe, and cuisine which at the time compared favorably...

  7. AHC: British strategic bomber

    The slow pod is to have British American relations remain sour after Suez. The British join with the French long term. So we have not one but two strategic bombers. Vulcan mark 3. With the POD being late 1950's the Vulcans are still in production and an upgrade for the late sixties or...

  8. AHC/WI: Broader track gauge becomes 'standard'?

    Here in the UK concerete sleepers/ties are used to replace wooden ones.

  9. Can you find what it mean ?

    So, Byzantium has access to the Red Sea. Colombus discovers the Americas as per otl. Byzantium sets out in search of an eastern route to America and opens up trade routes with India and the far east, including Japan. That's a rough guess, I don't know enough to provide any more details.

  10. No german reunification

    The cold war's over. The iron curtain's coming down, Gorbachev's bringing freedom to Eastern Europe. All will be peace and harmony, the bad old days of dictators is past. Well, that was the spirit of the age and who cares if Germany reunites in this atmosphere? Well, just a few people who are...

  13. Rate the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha/Windsor Monarchs

    George VI overcame personal shyness etc to be king then led the country through ww2. Elizabeth II is one of the most highly respected people on Earth today. She had a tough act to follow and she did it well.

  14. AHC/WI: A monarch nicknamed "The Worst"

    English Republic propoganda against Charles 1st labeled him the worst and the name stuck. As England remained a republic there was no chance of any king being worse although some protectors came close.:D

  15. WI: Nazis kidnap the Pope

    What happens to those nazis who escaped to Catholic South America after the war? Is there anywhere else in the world they could run to instead?

  16. WI: Japanese Carry Out 9/11?

    Just some thoughts, comparing this to otl 9/11. Most Moslem nations condemned the attacks. I can see China very quickly distancing itself from any group involved. China would pressure North Korea into handing over their Red Army members. Unlike the Taliban North Korea is rather dependant on...

  17. AHC: Make the "Scramble for Africa" and colonialism worse

    1) The slave trade was never abolished so the powers are 'exporting' natives and importing indentured workers from the poor of their own countries. 2) More animosity between European powers means they fight by proxy using friendly african tribes rather than fight another war in Europe. They...

    Doesn't the USN use a navalised version of the British Hawk trainer?

  20. With a POD of 1700, break Ireland away from Roman Catholicism by 1900

    A Methodist revival sweeps through Ireland as a grassroots "Christian" movement with no connection to any existing denomination. The Irish Methodists are big among the peasants and the poor. It also gives rise to political activists. The Catholics may still make up a large percentage of the...
